Just asking if anyone has already a Google Sitemaps working for SMF.
If you don't know what is Sitempas read:

If is thought that Sitemaps are going to be important and Google is changing some files thinking in Sitemaps:
QuoteYou may also use the Google Sitemaps (Beta) program to create and submit a detailed sitemap of your pages. We're testing this as a complement to our current crawl and encourage webmasters to participate. Google Sitemaps makes it easier for webmasters to provide information about their sites, and to update us when pages are added or changed.

That's ok thank you

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=14004.msg276463#msg276463

Unkown, would you share this mod with us? I'd like to try it on my board.

I tested it with 1.0.3
Doesn't work
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_IF in /home/users/members/hwbk/harro/public_html/forums/SSI.php on line 662

That means a problem in SSI.php. What mods do you have installed?
-[Unknown]
Yeah, I also can't open ssi_examples.
Got a few
arcade, shoutbox, spider mod.

Works like dream with 1.1. Thank you!
Works a dream on a vanilla 1.0.4 too :D
Thanks [Unknown]!
I got this error!
<b>Notice</b>: Undefined index: hide in <b>/home/httpd/vhosts/zeriyt.com/subdomains/forumi/httpdocs/Sour...
That's also from a modification to SMF, and not from this file itself.

I placed this on both of my sites in /forum/ and it worked fine. Thanks Unknown!

And what can we do now? Remove all the mods?
olti, any chance that you've installed the googlebot and spiders mod?
It adds a lot to ssi.php, and I think that the error is caused by that one.
Still have to look into it though, but I'm not a great php coder (I'm not one at all :p, but will learn it soon), so I doubt that I'll be able to fix it.
I found the line of code where the error is.
But I can't see what's wrong with it:
// + ($modSettings['ob_googlebot_count_most_online'] ? $return['num_spiders'] : 0)
How can I fix it?
this just creats the xml file correct?
it doesn't automaticly generate a file for us so that we can link it to google?

Give Google the link to the script.
-[Unknown]
ahh okay, the first time i asked it to link sitemap.php it gave me an error.. i just tried again and it worked fine. thanks
looks good to me.
So only the categories are included with the site map?
I know if all the posts were there... that would be massive.
thanks unknown! I appreciate it. And it works good to boot.
†B†V†
I don't know why... but when I submit the file to Google sitemap..... It says it cannot be found. I triple checked the URL..
Anyone know why?
Also, what all is supposed to be shown by this php file? It starts to show users, but it doesn't do the whole list of users, just a few.
Are all messages supposed to be there as well?
THanks for your help.

Works fine for me. I'm using:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/sitemap.php
-[Unknown]
Works fine, only that only catch dinamic URLs. That could be an improvement if could work with the short urls ;)
I made my modification to fit this what was saying before:
this is the script modified to fit short urls. Just search and replace this piece of code
Quote// Now the boards!
foreach ($boards as $board)
{
echo '
<url>
<loc>', $scripturl, '/board,', $board['id'], '.0.html</loc>
<lastmod>', posts_max_time($board['times']), '</lastmod>
<changefreq>', posts_to_freq($board['times']), '</changefreq>
<priority>', posts_to_priority(0.8, $board['times']), '</priority>
</url>';
}
// Popular topics too...
foreach ($topics as $topic)
{
echo '
<url>
<loc>', $scripturl, '/topic,', $topic['id'], '.0.html</loc>
<lastmod>', posts_max_time($topic['times']), '</lastmod>
<changefreq>', posts_to_freq($topic['times']), '</changefreq>
<priority>', posts_to_priority(0.7, $board['times']), '</priority>
</url>';
}
very easy ;)
I also was thinking if could do something like this:
Quote//mi modificación
$identidicador=1;
while ($identificador != 60)
{
echo '
<url>
<loc>', $scripturl, '/topic,', $identificador, '.0.html</loc>
<lastmod>', posts_max_time($topic['times']), '</lastmod>
<changefreq>', posts_to_freq($topic['times']), '</changefreq>
<priority>', posts_to_priority(0.7, $board['times']), '</priority>
</url>';
$identificador++;
}
About the topics, the most important for Google. (Don't use directly my code because has a little bug, I only know Java, not PHP ;))
I see important make a sitemap which had as many topics as we can

does the name have to state: sitemap.php ?
mine is:
http://www.egameaddiction.com/forums/smfsmap.php
Its there and works.... but for some odd reason, Google stats that it can't find it
That URL... I copied directly from the google sitemap page.

File name cant be issue.
Quote from: Owdy on June 18, 2005, 05:46:45 PM

I figured as all the other sitemap files I worked with had no problem with changing the filename.
I can't figure out why this one is giving me a problem.... or why Google is stating it cannot find it when the link is right.
Edit: I just resubmitted it with a different filename just for curiosity sake.

Here is a sitemap thingy that I'm making right now:
http://harro.sin.khk.be/forums/test.php
Worked yesterday. had over 300 yahoo bots on my forum :D
Strange error.
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/nordicra/public_html/forum/Sources/Load.php(1040) : eval()'d code:407) in /home/nordicra/public_html/forum/sitemap.php on line 8
Line 8 is: header('Content-Type: text/plain');
This is with version 1.0.4, language Norwegian, if that means anything.
Someone please help.
Why is a template or language file even being loaded, and why is it trying to modify the headers?

What's the point of a sitemap that just emulates what Google does?

Whats the whole point of google maps. Inform urls to crawl.
Quote from: Owdy on June 25, 2005, 04:25:06 PM

I thought it was to:
- give it URLs it might not otherwise find.
- tell it the priority of one URL over another.
- describe how often a specific page is likely to change.
-[Unknown]
Seems you didnt test that java app. You can do those things with that. And this is how Google says it:
QuoteThe Sitemap Protocol allows you to inform search engine crawlers about URLs on your Web sites that are available for crawling.
Btw, not everyone is drinking Google's Koolaid. Michael, (aka "Projectphp") quips: (http://www.seroundtable.com/archives/002071.html)
"For a static site with little changes, SiteMaps is a useful as tits on a Bull"
Well sayd ;D
No, I didn't, but if you just have it crawl your site you get all the slowdowns and problems of Google doing it, even if you can tell it extra URLs and relative importances... it's also takes longer than generating and estimating those things.
I don't have Java installed and I have no plans to change that.... so I can't test the program you linked to.

This is good point also:
QuoteAnother benefit brought by sitemaps is that webmasters can quicken the indexing of some pages by publishing them in the sitemap, without waiting for the usual ,,visit" of the crawlers. This technique is called ,,content pushing".

Just to let everyone else know, while doing this, you'll probably notice a large number of errors. This is because SMF protects directories such as Sources, Themes, Attachments, etc.
-Dan The Man
use robots.txt. Then you get no errors. And you can ad filters.

Eh, that was temporary, now it shows normal ~4000 pages. Weird behavior from google.
Would love sitemap.php with the SEO url's. I'm a big believer in never giving two URL's to the same file for google. Has anyone modified sitemap.php for this? Also, if I wanted more than twenty posts, would I change:
$request = db_query("
SELECT ID_TOPIC
FROM {$db_prefix}topics
ORDER BY numViews + numReplies DESC
LIMIT 20", __FILE__, __LINE__);
to
$request = db_query("
SELECT ID_TOPIC
FROM {$db_prefix}topics
ORDER BY numViews + numReplies DESC
LIMIT 9999", __FILE__, __LINE__);
Thanks!
After adding the www. and letting it work like that, its been perfect for about a week now, well done [unknown] your still brilliant, not that we ever doubted ya.
You can add ob_start('ob_sessrewrite'); to the top of the file (after the include) if you want queryless URLs.
For more topics, yes... you cna do that.

QuoteA Sitemap file can contain no more than 50,000 URLs and be no larger than 10MB when uncompressed. If your Sitemap is larger than this, break it into several smaller Sitemaps. These limits help ensure that your web server is not overloaded by serving large files to Google.

You are talking about the official Sitemap, and I'm giving you my own sitemap.

Wow sir this one works superbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb wow too good just one more question sir can it be modified in a way so even the topic title shows ? just wondering and thanks a lot for this one it shows all my posts now :x thanks a lot
Of course, but then it won't be a Google Sitemap, but a sitemap, which can help you with the others search engines. But I fear I can't do it for you, PHP is not my language. I'm sure someone here can give us the code to do a query this way

Umm thats ok but hey your code is superb it just rocks i see all my post thanks a lot
It's nothing especial, just a while. Only note that my sitemaps is for search spider friendly URLs (without ?)
Hey I've just created my first SMF forum while maintaining my main website, I'm very interested in this Sitemap business, I created my account a month back and visited back this morning then saw this topic.
so I went to the website for creating this file we all need if thats right?
http://www.auditmypc.com/free-sitemap-generator.asp
Then in the options on the top I simply input
http://www.studentsintheuk.com/
and clicked crawl at the moment it's still crawling, now this seems to be going on for a while do I just direct the Java app to the main directory of my website?
I have my main site:
http://www.studentsintheuk.com
Photos page:
http://www.studentsintheuk.com/cpg135/index.php
Forum:
http://studentsintheuk.com/forum/index.php
So do I put all three off these seperate in the Google sitemaps then simply input each individual and upload the file the java app makes into each directory.
Sorry for the all so many questions just want to make sure this is right at the moment it's saying 5000+ on the queued location < is this way to big?
All I would like is for mainly those 3 places on my site to be seen, please indicate in a numerical order rather than paragragh I'm bad at link back and forth so maybe a
1. Do this
2. Do that
hehe I'm so picky sorry just means I don't have to ask and ask again.
Hopefully someone can help me out! Cheers in advance.
And feel free to sing up if your a student!

ouch ! i got this error using your sitemap.php
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in xxxx/forum/SSI.php on line 739
of course i'm using googlebot mod
i'm on 1.1b3p cause of non finished french translation
i've read the 6pages but i didn't find the solution ? am I blind or there's no solution except removing the googlebot mod?
are you sure your SSI.php es well? this seems SSI is corrupted
I used to install googlebot manually, so i restore backups, of course the sitemap rules :)
i will try tonight install the bot by the admin panel, but i need some chown by the admin......
thanks ;D
No mod is needed.

It looks good. That's how its supposed to look. Just feed the link to google sitemaps website.
isnt it suppose to show all my topics ? like the topic headings and stuff i have 2000 posts isnt that suppose to come just askin ?

First: You use my code or the official one or both (you then use 2 sitemaps), paste it into a file on your forum's root directory.
Second: You go to http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps and you add a sitemap
Three: Now you have a sitemap for your forum, then you must think about the rest of your site. Search a sitemap generator.

The above coding is that your coding?
Then what do I name the file?
Quote(you then use 2 sitemaps)
Is that creating a Sitemap for:
http://studentsintheuk.com/forum/
Then do I click Add a Sitemap beside the http://studentsintheuk.com/forum/ ?
What do I put as the sitemap url is this were I would put the Code you specified?
Sorry about the questions it's just I'm getting mixed up with all the quotes from others.
Thanks for replying :D
Yes, that's my code. Use it with a file named as you want .php Then you must change the number and put instead your forum's topic count, and put it in your forum's root (that code is only for pretty URLs) and then you can go to Google, add Sitemap and tell him the url where is the sitemap

I can find 5 counts within the coding at the button which one do I change? Sorry I just don't want to get this wrong 8) thanks for the help so far :P
You must change $totaldetopics (at the beginning) to fit your forum's
Works fine for me, all I need to do is submit it, but has anyone using this notice any improvement in their google ranking/indexing so far?

You can add ob_start('ob_sessrewrite'); to the top of the file (after the include) if you want queryless URLs.
For more topics, yes... you cna do that.
-[Unknown]
queryless urls for the site map no longer work in RC1 1.1
EDIT: No big deal, I just manually edited them.
Sitemaps increases your visits, not for improving your rankings, but for improving your indexing very good. Also you can try an urllist for Yahoo!, which works fine for me.

It's not easy to know. To me, one week, but you must know Google is doing some updates right now, and you will see diferent results on every datacenter.
I have released the sitemaps already: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=59676.0 ;)

You must say to Google Sitemaps (http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps) this url: http://forums.hamarabollywood.com/sitemaps/sitemaps.php
And you must use html as is follows:
http://forums.hamarabollywood.com/sitemaps/home.html To get links for your boards
http://forums.hamarabollywood.com/sitemaps/0.html -> This is the really important. You should get links to it in order to have search engines indexing your latest topics.

NO, you misundertood. There is a Google Sitemap and a HTML Sitemap. The only sitemap you must submit to Google is sitemaps.php. 0.html and the others can't be submitted to Google Sitemaps. Please read carefully http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=59676.0 and ask question there.

do u know where i can submit my html site map like to yahoo or something u thing ???
You must get links to your html sitemap. For example, linking it from your forum. All search enines then will find your html sitemap and will spider it. If you want to improve your rankings, then get links to your forum.
Hey Davilac my unique visitors has gone from 211 to 2000+ a day, but in the last day it's only 70 and my RSS feed for my forum comes up with
"Live bookmark feed failed to load"
Any ideas please :D
Google is updating datacenters, so be patient.
About your feed, I have no idea.

Ok I'll wait and see oh and my RSS feed seems to be working now ;D
[Unkown]'s sitemap works like a champ. After a few weeks traffic increased 2 fold.
I will now try Davilac's sitemap.
I submited the below link in Google Sitmaps:
http://www.studentsintheuk.com/cpg135/sitemap.xml (http://www.studentsintheuk.com/cpg135/sitemap.xml)
then I get an error on the Sitmaps linking to the below link:
https://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/docs/en/protocol.html#sitemapLocation (https://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/docs/en/protocol.html#sitemapLocation)
http://www.studentsintheuk.com URL not under Sitemap path
http://www.studentsintheuk.com/forum/ URL not under Sitemap path
http://www.studentsintheuk.com/studentsintheuk.html URL not under Sitemap path
Anyone help me please? :D
Guys, this is frustrating as HECK.. the bots and spiders wont even look at my forum (i assume) because I cant get rid of PHPSESSID's on my URLS.. so i was hoping this sitemap would at least get me into Google..
BUT IT WONT WORK..
anytime i (or google) tries to go to http://mydomain/sitemaps/sitemaps.php, all i get is my forum index page?!
however, IF i go to http://mydomain/mydomain/sitemaps/sitemaps.php it will open, but Google wont accept that!?
Why does my index open every time i try to go to http://mydomain/sitemaps/sitemaps.php ?? is this a forum setting, a index.php setting? a .HTACCESS setting??
arrhhhgggg!! >:(

Tearabyte, why are you submitting sitemaps.php to google? Their sitemaps faq (https://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/docs/en/faq.html) explains that they try and download a file named sitemaps.xml or the gzipped version, sitemaps.xml.gz. I have it setup on my site in the way they specify and their bot downloads the sitemap regularly.
Hi everybody!.
Just put this to work here: http://acidobase.com.ar/foros/sitemaps/sitemaps.php
The problem is that Google returns:
Detail
URL not allowed (Line 3) with URL http://acidobase.com.ar/index.php This url is not allowed for a Sitemap at this location. More
URL not allowed (Line 9) with URL http://acidobase.com.ar/index.php/board,15.0.html This url is not allowed for a Sitemap at this location. More
URL not allowed (Line 15) with URL http://acidobase.com.ar/index.php/board,27.0.html This url is not allowed for a Sitemap at this location. More
URL not allowed
Your Sitemap contains a URL that is not allowed based on the Sitemap's location..
Why is not allowed? All the links were constructed via the sitemaps thingie. I have a Joomla/SMF site but I use SMF almost 100% I just got Joomla just in case. I have to put the sitemap in the main directory?
Best,
Carla
That is just a big with google sitemaps...
Hej Hej,
i have the same problem how Tearabite, google don´t accept my
sitemap.php i think they wants a xml file has anybody a idea or a how to?
i become the error message the url is not allowed. / 1errors
best regards
André
Hej Hej,,
please give me a completly how to and i will translate it to german.
best regards

Your Sitemap contains a URL that is not allowed based on the Sitemap's location..
Add a .htaccess file with the following code in it:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.htm$ /sitemaps/$1 [L]Now you may access yourboard.com/sitemaps.php.htm
Your sitemap for /test/blah has to be in /test or /test/blah NOT in /test/blah/stuff! That is why you get that error from google.
Hi JS,
I did something radical. I deleted Joomla and I put SMF in the main directory and Joomla as a sub dir! :) after all I never used it.
Now the problem is that index.php apears everywhere. Before the move I didn't see it.
I tried to put sitemaps.php in de main dir, but it doesn't return anything.
In the /sitemaps/ directory works fine but google as usual says:
URL not allowed (Line 3) with URL http://tresjolie.com.ar/index.php This url is not allowed for a Sitemap at this location. More
URL not allowed (Line 9) with URL http://tresjolie.com.ar/index.php/board,1.0.html This url is not allowed for a Sitemap at this location. More
I will try to make it work from the main SMF directory and I'll post here if I made it.
Best.
Carla
Ok, it was dead easy.
I just edited sitemaps.php and change the SSI path. Now it works fine in the same directory that SMF.
This post has helped me get sitemaps working on my site, thanks!
BTW, if you want your server to respond to http://domainname.com/sitemap.xml instead of sitemap.php and you are using Apache with mod_rewrite enabled - just create (or update) .htaccess in your webroot directory and add the following lines:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ sitemap.php
It worked like a charm for me.

There is no reason why it would`nt work :) And.. there is no reason why I would use that mod rewrite, google cand download your sitemap even from an url like index.php?sitemap=yes&path=/here/is/my/sitemap :)

Untested with SMF 1.0.x. Upload, test, and give to Google.

the attachment link still worked and I just tried it today.
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=37858.0;attach=7587
and I submitted to google.
I am running SMF 1.12 . and I wanted to reply to this thread, because then I can report if this php file works for 1.12 today.
hope that is okay
nada
the sitemap.php works fine on my SMF 1.1.2

Is it supposed to look like that?
Not Found
The requested URL /sitemap.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request

No... your php file needs to be world accessible for google to access it.
Sorry had a problem with that. its fixed now.
And for those who have freindly urls on?? :(
